Event – Sydney: What is the meaning of Myriad?

Event – Sydney: What is the meaning of Myriad?

Prior to the High Court of Australia decision in D’Arcy v Myriad Genetics Inc., handed down on 7 October 2015, the law in Australia governing what types of technologies could be patent protected was relatively clear.

In the wake of the Myriad decision, all of this could change. Although the decision relates directly to human genes, the impact of the decision has the potential to affect patent protection on gene technologies more generally, as well as naturally occurring chemicals, ICT inventions and other new technologies.
